If they wanted to review you urgently they would have given you a call not sending you a letter. 🤷🤦Talk about how to panic you...

Depending if you are on medication, possibly Azathioprine and you have regular blood tests, your bloods could have shown a low white count higher liver enzymes or high Inflammation. I wouldn't get too worried about it as they sent a letter and not rang you to go straight away to see them, so take deep breaths and try to stay calm and positive until you see them, then all will be explained to you.
